Abstract
A device may be configured for updating the programming of a control system of an electric rotary machine, the device having no screen. The device may include an electrical or optical connector element for connection to the control system, enabling data to be transferred between the device and the control system and a memory for containing data to be transferred into the control system and/or for loading data from the control system. The device may include a control member, with data being exchanged between the device and the control system in response to an action exerted manually on the control member.
Claims41
A device for updating the programming of a control system of an electric rotary machine, the device having no screen and comprising:
- at least one of an electrical connector element and an optical connector element for connection to the control system, enabling data to be transferred between the device and the control system;
- a memory for at least one of containing data to be transferred into the control system and loading data from the control system;
- and a control member, wherein data being exchanged between the device and the control system in response to an action exerted manually on the control member, and wherein the control system is one of a variable speed controller and a starter.
A device for updating a programming of a control system of an electric rotary machine, the device having no screen and comprising:
- at least one of an electrical connector element and an optical connector element for connection to the control system, enabling data to be transfered between the device and the control system;
- a memory for at least one of containing data to be transferred into the control system and loading data from the control system;
- and
- a control member,
- wherein data is exchanged between the device and the control system in response to an action exerted manually on the control member, and
- wherein the device is configured to transfer data to the control system.
A range of control systems for electric rotary machines, comprising:
- control systems;
- and
- more than one of a device for updating a programming of the control systems of an electric rotary machine, each device having no screen and comprising:
- at least one of an electrical connector element and an optical connector element for connection to the control systems, enabling data to be transfered between the device and the control systems;
- a control member,
- each of the devices being associated with a corresponding one of the control system, and each of the devices containing different operating data,
- wherein data is exchanged between each of the devices and the corresponding one of the control systems in response to an action exerted manually on the control member.
A method for using a device for updating a programming of a control system of an electric rotary machine, the device having no screen and comprising at least one of an electrical connector element and an optical connector element for connection to the control system, enabling data to be transferred between the device and the control system, memory for at least one of containing data to be transferred into the control system and loading data from the control system, and a control member, wherein date is exchanged between the device and the control system in response to an action exerted manually on the control member, in which electric rotary machines are controlled by respective control systems, the method comprising:
- determining operating parameters of the machines;
- transferring the determined operating parameters to the device:
- and
- transferring the operating parameters on the device to a control system associated with another rotary machine.
A method for using a device for updating a programming of a control system of an electric rotary machine, the device having no screen and comprising at least one of an electrical connector element and an optical connector element for connection to the control system, enabling data to be transferred between the device and the control system, a memory for at least one of containing data to be transferred into the control system and loading data from the control system, and a control member, wherein data is exchanged btween the device and the control system in response to an action exerted manually on the control member, to update a least one operating parameter of a control system of at least one electric rotary machine, the method comprising:
- loading data associated with said operating parameter into the memory of a device;
- and
- transferring the loaded data associated with said operating parameter into the control system.
